摘要：

We present the results of a scaling study of monolithic differential pairs of optical thyristors, The devices are depleted thyristors, intended for high-frequency and high-sensitivity operation, According to the measurements, the optical switching energy scales with area and equals to 15 aJ/mu m(2). The smallest pair with mesas of 10 x 15 mu m(2) operates with 2.6 fJ of light input. Sub-femtojoule optical switching energy is expected in the near future.
